INTRODUCATION OF TOURISM

Definition of Tourism:According to the World Tourism Organization, tourists are people who "travel to and stay in places outside their usual environment for not more than one consecutive year for leisure, business and other purposes not related to the exercise of an activity remunerated from within the place visited". These service industries include transportation services include transportation services such as cruise ships and taxis, accommodation such as hotels and entertainment venues, and other hospitality industry services such as resorts. As a service industry, tourism has numerous tangible and intangible elements. Major tangible elements include transportation, accommodation, and other components of a hospitality industry. Major intangible elements relate to the purpose or motivation for becoming a tourist, such as rest, relaxation, the opportunity to meet new people and experience other cultures, or simply to do something different and have an adventure. Tourism is vital for many countries, due to the income generated by the consumption of goods and services by tourists, the taxes levied on businesses in the tourism industry, and the opportunity for employment and economic advancement by working in the industry .

Travel:Travel is the movement of people between relatively distant geographical locations for any purpose and any duration, with or without any means of transport. Travel also includes relatively short stays between successive movements. Movements between locations requiring only a few minutes are not considered as travel. As an activity, "travel" also covers all the activities performed during a travel (movement). Travel is a wider concept than a trip. A round trip is a particular type of travel whereby a person moves from his/her usual residence to one or several distant locations and returns. A trip can also be part of a round trip. Travel is most commonly done for recreation or to visit friends and family (generally as part of tourism), for business or for commuting; but may be for numerous other reasons, such as health care, migration, fleeing war, etc. Travel may occur by walking or human-powered mode, or through mechanical vehicles, either as private or public transport. Travel may be local, regional, national (domestic) or international. In some countries, nonlocal internal travel may require an internal passport, while international travel typically requires a passport and visa. The terms tourism and travel are sometimes used interchangeably. In this context travel has a similar definition to tourism, but implies a more purposeful journey. The terms tourism and tourist are sometimes used pejoratively to imply a shallow interest in the cultures or locations visited by tourists.

Type of Tourism

There are three basic forms of tourism: domestic tourism, inbound tourism, and outbound tourism. 

Domestic tourism refers to activities of a visitor within their country of residence and outside of their home (e.g. an Indian visiting other parts of India).



Inbound tourism refers to the activities of a visitor from outside of country of residence (e.g. a British visiting India).



Outbound tourism refers to the activities of a resident visitor outside of their country of residence (e.g. an Indian visiting an overseas country).

Type of Tourists Tourists can also be classified based on their purpose of visit: Business tourists. This segment typically comprises those travelling for meetings, incentives, conventions and exhibitions (MICE); however, this definition is not conclusive and includes any tourist on a visit to India for business purposes. Business tourism is viewed as an important market in the country and one of the high-yielding sectors of the tourism industry. Leisure tourists Leisure tourism comprises trips for pleasure. It includes holidays within the country or abroad. Visiting friends and relatives and travel for a variety of reasons such as health and fitness, sports, education, and culture also come under the purview of leisure trips. Different forms of tourism There are different types of tourism. The recent trend is moving toward niche segments of tourism: •

Medical/healthcare tourism

•

Adventure tourism

•

Heritage tourism

•

Ecotourism

•

Rural tourism

•

Pilgrimage tourism

Medical Tourism Medical tourism also known as health tourism has emerged as one of the important segments of the tourism industry. The term has been coined by travel agencies and the mass media to describe the rapidly-growing practice of travelling across international borders to for healthcare travelers typically seek services such as elective procedures as well as complex specialized surgeries such as joint replacement (knee/hip), cardiac, dental, and cosmetic surgeries. Psychiatry, alternative treatments, and convalescent care are also available.

Adventure Tourism Travel for the aim of exploration or travel to remote, exotic and possibly hostile areas is known as adventure tourism. With tourists looking for different options, adventure tourism is recording healthy growth. Adventure tourism refers to performance of acts, which require significant efforts and some degree of risk or physical danger. The activities include mountaineering, trekking, bungee jumping, mountain biking, river rafting, and rock climbing. India with its diverse topography and climate offers tremendous scope for adventure tourism. The mountain regions offer lot of scope for mountaineering, rock climbing, trekking, skiing, skating, mount biking and safaris; rushing rivers provide opportunities for river rafting, canoeing and kayaking; and oceans provide tremendous opportunity for diving and snorkeling.

Heritage Tourism Heritage tourism is defined as “travel undertaken to explore and experience places, activities, and artifacts that authentically represent the stories and people of the past and present”. It is oriented toward cultural heritage of the tourist location. It involves visiting historical or industrial sites, religious travel or pilgrimages. India is well known for its rich heritage and ancient culture. The country’s rich heritage is amply reflected in the various temples, majestic forts, pleasure gardens, religious monuments, museums, art galleries and urban and rural sites which are citadels of civilization. All these structures form the products of heritage tourism.

MICE Tourism MICE (Meetings, Incentives, Conferences and Exhibitions) tourism is also one of the fastest growing in the global tourism industry. It largely caters to business travelers, mostly corporate. It caters to various forms of business meetings, international conferences and conventions, events and exhibitions. Hong Kong, Malaysia and Dubai are the top destinations for MICE tourism. India is also present in this segment.

Wildlife Tourism Wildlife tourism, one of the fastest segments of tourism, involves travel to different locations to experience wild life in natural settings. Due to its varied topography and distinctive climatic conditions, India is endowed with various forms of flora and fauna and it has numerous species of birds, mammals, reptiles, amphibians and plants and animals.

TOURISM INDUSTRY IN INDIA

Travel and tourism is the largest service industry globally in terms of gross revenue and foreign exchange earnings. It is also one of the largest employment generators in the world. It has been a major social phenomenon and is driven by social, religious, recreational, knowledge seeking and business interests and motivated by the human urge for new experience, adventure, education, and entertainment. Tourism is both cause and consequence of economic development.

Indian travel and tourism industry Indian tourism offers most diverse products globally. The country’s rich history, cultural heritage, beauty, diversity of religion and medicine fascinate budget and luxury travelers. Tourism in India has registered significant growth over the years. This has been led by growth in both leisure and business tourism. Rising incomes, increasing affordability, growing aspirations, increasing globalization, and a growing airline industry along with improvement in travel-related infrastructure have supported industry growth. Tourism holds immense potential for the Indian economy. It can provide impetus to other industries through backward and forward linkages and can contribute significantly to GDP. The tourism industry in India is substantial and vibrant, and the country is fast becoming a major global destination. India’s travel and tourism industry is one of them most profitable industries in the country, and also credited with contributing a substantial amount of foreign exchange. This is illustrated by the fact that during 2006, four million tourists visited India and spent US $8.9 billion. Worldwide, the contribution to GDP from travel and tourism will have grown by 3.7% by the end of this year and the sector will contribute 284 million jobs, directly and indirectly, or one in 11 of all jobs on the planet. The Tourism Ministry has also played an important role in the development of the industry, initiating advertising campaigns such as the 'Incredible India' campaign, which promoted India’s culture and tourist attractions in a fresh and memorable way. The campaign helped create a colorful image of India in the minds of consumers all over the world, and has directly led to an increase in the interest among tourists. The tourism industry has helped growth in other sectors as diverse as horticulture, handicrafts, agriculture, construction and even poultry. Both directly and indirectly, increased tourism in India has created jobs in a variety of related sectors. The numbers tell the story: almost 20 million people are now working in the India’s tourism industry. India’s governmental bodies have also made a significant impact in tourism by requiring that each and every state of India have a corporation to administer support issues related to tourism.

A new growth sector is medical tourism. It is currently growing at around 30% per annum. Medical tourist arrivals are expected to reach one million soon. Medical tourism in Asia has grown rapidly. Medical tourism is approaching fever pitch at the tune of $4 Billion US, fueled largely by the cosmetic surgery market. One of the problems India has, despite having some world-class hospitals, is sanitation. The tourism industry of India is based on certain core nationalistic ideals and standards which are: Swaagat or welcome, Sahyog or cooperation, Soochanaa or information, Sanrachanaa or infrastructure, Suvidha or facilitation, Safaai or cleanliness and Surakshaa or security.

Present Situation and Features of Tourism in India Today tourism is the largest service industry in India, with a contribution of 6.23% to the national GDP and providing 8.78% of the total employment. India witnesses more than 5 million annual foreign tourist arrivals and 562 million domestic tourism visits. The tourism industry in India generated about US$100 billion in 2008 and that is expected to increase to US$275.5 billion by 2018 at a 9.4% annual growth rate. The Ministry of Tourism is the nodal agency for the development and promotion of tourism in India and maintains the "Incredible India" campaign. According to World Travel and Tourism Council, India will be a tourism hotspot from 20092018, having the highest 10-year growth potential. As per the Travel and Tourism Competitiveness Report 2009 by the World Economic Forum, India is ranked 11th in the Asia Pacific region and 62nd overall, moving up three places on the list of the world's attractive destinations. It is ranked the 14th best tourist destination for its natural resources and 24th for its cultural resources, with many World Heritage Sites, both natural and cultural, rich fauna, and strong creative industries in the country. India also bagged 37th rank for its air transport network. The India travel and tourism industry ranked 5th in the long-term (10year) growth and is expected to be the second largest employer in the world by 2019. The 2010 Commonwealth Games in Delhi are expected to significantly boost tourism in India further. The industry is likely to see a spurt in growth this year on the back of new visa reforms, according to a report by the World Travel and Tourism Council. The country has recently improved its visa processes but more needs to be done on the implementation side and to bring ever more countries into the visa waiver programme.

IMPORTANCE OF TOURISM

There is no other industry that has a similarly sustained and diversified multiplier effect on the economy, playing a crucial role in the overall development of a country. By creating jobs and opportunities for all sections of the society, tourism helps in bridging economic inequalities. Its contribution to the government’s coffers and also the country’s foreign exchange reserves can be substantial. Since the very essence of tourism and its future depends on protection of natural, historical and cultural resources, it plays an important part in promoting sustainable growth and environment protection, on which the future of humankind hinges. In addition to direct jobs in hotels, with tour operators, travel agencies, airlines and transport operators, tourism generates employment across a wide spectrum of skills on account of its significant backward and forward linkages. Transport, construction, engineering, manufacturing, agriculture, food and horticulture, telecom, IT and healthcare are some of the sectors that make knock-on gains from a boom in tourist influx. Tourism also has a positive impact on the development of rural and backward areas, helping the revival of traditional art forms, crafts and cultural traditions. Travel and tourism is the largest service industry in India. It provides heritage, cultural, medical, business and sports tourism. The main objective of this sector is to develop and promote tourism, maintain competitiveness of India as tourist destination and improve and expand existing tourism products to ensure employment generation and economic growth.

SIGNIFICANCE OF TOURISM Tourism has become an important source of income for many regions and even entire countries. The Manila Declaration on World Tourism of 1980 recognized its importance as "an activity essential to the life of nations because of its direct effects on the social, cultural, educational, and economic sectors of national societies and on their international relations. Tourism brings large amounts of income into a local economy in the form of payment for goods and services needed by tourists, accounting as of 2011 for 30% of the world's trade in services, and for 6% of overall exports of goods and services. It also generates opportunities for employment in the service sector of the economy associated with tourism. The hospitality industries which benefit from tourism include transportation services (such as airlines, cruise ships, trains and taxicabs); hospitality services (such as accommodations, including hotels and resorts); and entertainment venues (such as amusement

parks, restaurants, casinos, shopping malls, music venues, and theaters). This is in addition to goods bought by tourists, including souvenirs. On the flip-side, tourism can degrade people and sour relationships between host and guest.

WORLD TOURISM STATISTICS AND RANKING Total volume of cross-border tourist travel International tourist arrivals reached 1.035 billion in 2012, up from over 996 million in 2011, and 952 million in 2010. In 2011 and 2012, international travel demand continued to recover from the losses resulting from the late-2000s recession, where tourism suffered a strong slowdown from the second half of 2008 through the end of 2009. After a 5% increase in the first half of 2008, growth in international tourist arrivals moved into negative territory in the second half of 2008, and ended up only 2% for the year, compared to a 7% increase in 2007.The negative trend intensified during 2009, exacerbated in some countries due to the outbreak of the H1N1 influenza virus, resulting in a worldwide decline of 4.2% in 2009 to 880 million international tourists arrivals, and a 5.7% decline in international tourism receipts.

Components of Tourism Industry

➢ATTRACTION:- The principle of attraction is to establish the need for the attraction in a particular location to invite more footfalls. It may be a huge theme park, a museum, a gallery, a heritage building, an educational center etc. Many countries see the need to have one or more visitor attraction in the area to widen their appeal and attract huge potential tourist:Learn more at www.technofunc.com. Your online source for free professional tutorials.

➢ACCOMODTION AND CATERING: - This components consists of those who provide accommodation to the people in the form of hotels, resorts, apartments, camps, guest houses etc. The accommodation may be marketed individually or through the tour operators in the form of package. These service providers also take care of the catering needs of the people by providing them huge cafeterias, various fast food outlets in house or in the form of a Galleria.

➢TRANSPORTATION:-Transport providers are those operating any major form of transport. They could be airlines, cruise lines, car rentals, and rail companies. A tourist’s choice of transport would depend on the travel budget, destination, time, purpose of the tour, and convenience to the point of destination.

➢TOURIST INFORMATION AND GUIDING SERVICES:- The tourist information and guidance providers include a number of service providers such as those offering insurance, recreational, communication, and banking services; government agencies; tour guides; industry associations; packaging agents; ticketing agents; and holiday sellers. ➢TRAVEL AGENTS: - A travel agent provides information to the people on various travel destinations, advises them of available holiday packages to suit their tastes and budget and chart their travel plan. He would generally sell the travel associated products like currency exchange, car rentals, insurance etc. ➢TOUR OPERATORS: - Tour operators offer holiday packages, which comprise of:1. Travel by rail, road or air. 2. Accommodations like hotels, resorts, apartments, guesthouses etc. 3. Travel services like airport pick and drop, sightseeing, excursions etc. These tour operators may be the wholesale operators who operate tours only through retail travel agencies or they may be direct sell operators who market their product directly to the public.

INDIAN TRAVEL AGENCY

A travel agency is a private retailer or public service that provides travel and tourism related services to the public on behalf of suppliers such as airlines, car rentals, cruise lines, hotels, railways, and packages tours. In addition to dealing with ordinary tourists most travel agencies have a separate department devoted to making travel arrangements for business travelers and some travel agencies specialize in commercial and business travel only.

Operations A travel agency's main function is to act as an agent, selling travel products and services on behalf of a supplier. Consequently, unlike other retail businesses, they do not keep a stock in hand. A package holiday or a ticket is not purchased from a supplier unless a customer requests that purchase. The holiday or ticket is supplied to the agency at a discount. The profit is therefore the difference between the advertised price which the customer pays and the discounted price at which it is supplied to the agent. This is known as the commission. In many countries, all individuals or companies that sell tickets are required to be licensed as a travel agent. A travel agent is supposed to offer impartial travel advice to the customer. However, this function almost disappeared with the mass market package holiday, and some agency chains seemed to develop a "holiday supermarket" concept, in which customers choose their holiday from brochures on racks and then book it from a counter. Any travel agent needs certain skills and qualities for performing business related functions effectively. This will be reflected on the entire business and will be helpful for repeat business, improves customer loyalty and acts as a promotional tool due to the positive word of mouth publicity by the satisfied customer.

Agency income Travel agencies' principal source of income was, and continues to be, commissions paid for bookings of car rentals, cruise lines, hotels, railways, sightseeing tours, tour operators, etc. A fixed percentage of the main element of the price is paid to the agent as a commission. Commissions may vary depending on the type of product and the supplier. Commissions are not paid on the tax component of the price. Travel agencies also receive a large variety of bonuses, benefits, and other incentives from travel and tourism related companies as inducements for travel agents to promote their products. The customer is normally not made aware of how much the travel agent is earning in commissions and other benefits. Other sources of income may include the sale of insurance, travel guide books, public transport timetables and money exchange.

Travel agencies in the 21st century

With general public access to the Internet, many airlines and other travel companies began to sell directly to passengers. As a consequence, airlines no longer needed to pay the commissions to travel agents on each ticket sold. Travel agencies have gradually been intermediated, by the reduction in costs caused by removing layers from the package holiday distribution network. However, travel agents remain dominant in some areas such as cruise vacations where they represent 77% of bookings and 73% of packaged travel. In 2009, the market size for travel agencies experienced a sharp decline, dropping from $17 billion the previous year to $14.5 billion. In response, travel agencies have developed an internet presence of their own by creating travel websites, with detailed information and online booking capabilities. Travel agencies also use the services of the major computer reservations systems companies, also known as Global Distribution Systems (GDS), including: Amadeus CRS, Galileo CRS, SABRE, and World span, which is a subsidiary of Travel port, allowing them to book and sell airline tickets, car rentals, hotels, and other travel related services. Some online travel websites allow visitors to compare hotel and flight rates with multiple companies for free; they often allow visitors to sort the travel packages by amenities, price, and proximity to a city or landmark. Travel agents have applied dynamic packaging tools to provide fully bonded (full financial protection) travel at prices equal to or lower than a member of the public can book online. As such, the agencies' financial assets are protected in addition to professional travel agency advice.

MY TRAINING TASKS

Before joining the company for my winter training I was hesitating a lot. I was thinking totally negative about myself and I was giving a negligible status myself before the company. But thank God I felt at home there, after feeling comfortable in company I gained energy for working strongly and I perform very well there. I had never expected I will act like that, I think my performance was above my hopes because my hopes were confined up to the limited expectations.

This winter training was my any first industrial training which gave me a clear vision about company work. I learnt there so many things which definitely help me in future to get a strong stand at anywhere. Everything is depicted in my mind with the smiles of all staff members who were teaching me things through funny matters and keeping smile on their faces every time. I not only got the work experience and exposure from the company, but my level of confidence also increased. I am realizing that now I would claim for something on the basis of this experience which gives me surety to face the challenges of the present world. In other words my winter training experience was very excellent and full of satisfactions from my side because market the company in over all Delhi,NCR, working at computer, talking with clients, telephonic conversation, etc was beautiful gift for me from the company which satisfied me wholly and solely.

During my industrial training, I have performed there multitasks timely. I was greatly appreciated in ULTIMATE INDIA HOLIDAYS, with the encouragement from the staff, I felt comfortable and fearless in ULTIMATE INDIA HOLIDAYS right from the first day of my training till the last day. The friendly environment of the company and the helping nature of staff members had also motivated me to work fearlessly.

The following were the main tasks that I have performed in a better way during my winter internship: Requirement taking on telephonic conversation

A query is a cluster or a set of requirements which are related to the tour package. This query is opened in the name of a particular client/customer/tourist who intends to any destination by his/her preferred travel company. These query are mentioning the name, address etc. of tourist; nature of tour, mode of transport, type of accommodation, area of destination, duration of tour, number and no. of pax (s); departure, arrival and stopover dates etc.

Taking a requirement is most important work for any travel company to know the confirmation about a travel trip or a package taken by a tourist. As in ULTIMATE INDIA HOLIDAYS, the requirement taking was my usual task. They were making the bookings/reservations for the tourists in hotels, coaches, trains, and air; making their detailed package was given to me.

Keeping the package detail in sequential and better way in the file, which was my prior duty there. I was maintaining the record of each requirement by entering them in log book (a register in which the file number is registered with the name of client and departure date) daily.

EXPERIENCE

Work experience during our trainingI would like to pay my gratitude to my mentor Mr. Monu for giving me guidance and support. I would also want to thank Mr. Monu for appointing me as a trainee in his ULTIMATE INDIA HOLIDAYS. It was a great experience for me to work in India’s most famous travel company. I came to know about the corporate world. I learnt how to tackle the different situations. There are different types of customers having different kind of demands and I experienced that the operation person in travel industry should be able to mould herself according to the customer’s demands i.e. if they are quality oriented or budget oriented the operation person has to make herself according to the demands. I came to know that if anyone is working in a travel industry he/she must have a calm nature.

It is very important to learn the work of the company but first you have to be a true presenter, pleasant personality and good human being.

Regarding my work experience it was the most memorable and learning for me. Working in ULTIMATE INDIA HOLIDAYS made me confident about my work. I learnt about the telephonic conversation, requirement taking and keeping them in record and last but not the least I learnt how to make myself capable of handling various situations.

Suggestion

As I work there as a trainee and I know them very well during my winter training period. There staff members’ behavior was very good towards me.That why I completed my winter training around good environment and lots of thing. I came to know about the corporate world. I learnt how to tackle the different situations.

But the only few thing that I suggest them and that is coordination between staff members. They should be coordinated with each staff member whether they manager, employee and trainee. It was a great experience for me to work in India’s most famous travel company.

CONCLUSION

Training is a necessary part of every human being whether she is an employee or a student. It plays a vital role in the life of every Human-being. Training gives us knowledge and ability gives us knowledge and ability for doing some new in our life. The most important impact of training is that it saves the time and enhances the confidence of a woman. This winter job training gave me more experience and ability to do worth in the tourism industry.
